Goals and Content Structuring
First of all, it must be clear what the goals of a homepage are; based on this, the content pages are determined. If one of the goals is to promote goods or services, contact options ("calls to action") must be defined - contact form, email address, phone number, scheduler, buy button, etc.
Domain selection
Matching the company, an available domain is searched, selected and registered with a domain registrar.
Host Selection and Installation
The Wordpress application is installed on a web server operated by a suitable hoster.
Design Selection
The wordpress design template that suits your project will be selected, configured and customized if needed.
Plugin Installation
The required Wordpress plugins are researched, installed and configured: Scheduler, SEO Optimizer, multilingualism - there are solutions for almost every purpose. Recommendation: limit the choice to only what is strictly necessary - every installed piece of software will need maintenance.
Content Creation
The effort of editorial content preparation should not be underestimated! Internet users are impatient, the competitor is only a click away.
Texts must be well-structured and easy to read, fit the target group and lead to an action.
We advise you on content preparation and also give tips on SEO optimization of the content.
Creation and Integration of Photos
Pictures are important for a homepage and make content less monotonous. The photos must fit in their image format (portrait, landscape, ...) and the color mood to the design.
We support you in the creation or procurement of the photos and can also take over the image processing.
Tracking setup
We take care of the tracking setup for you. With the right tracking tools you can analyze what interests your users, where they enter (landing pages), and where they end the visit again (exit pages). Recommended tools are Google Analytics and Google Search Console - both are free.
Imprint and GDPR texts
Strong requirements are placed on the imprint and data protection regulations. A website processes user data and must be GDPR compliant.
Go-Live and Optimization
When the site is finally up and running, regular checks should be made in the tracking tools to see whether the user paths are meeting expectations. If the number of users via Google search engine is not sufficient, online marketing can be used to help.
